I like this gentleman’s attitude. I’ve been a mechanic (non-aircraft) for 43 years. The simplicity and proven reliability of these engines should be taken note of. Fewer moving parts means fewer areas of failure.

[BillyStewart-rd]

I have a Zenith 601XLB and I've run both the 2.7L and later the 3.3L engines. I installed them according to William's installation manual and both were great trouble-free engines. I'm up to around 400 hours on the plane now.

I have a corvair engine in my building ready to be converted :)

[cptzoom]

Great video!! As a DAR I have certified several planes with William’s engines on them. I’ve been very impressed with them.

50 years in aviation (A&P/IA, EAA member), started working on Corvairs about 60 years ago (wish I still had at least one), I love what William is doing with these engines. Hopefully make it to Sun and Fun next year and meet up with him 👍

I was fortunate enough to fly Williams Pietenpol back in 1999-2000. This was in his early years of corvair conversions. The engine ran flawlessly all the way to Oshkosh and back to Florida. I also flew it to the Kansas City area and back with zero issues. Now, all these years later, his product has improved by orders of magnitude and ranks among the very best engine options in the mid 100 hp range. There is no one on this planet the remotely comes close to the depth of knowledge that William has about these engines. If you follow his instructions, you will have a great, reliable and well running engine.

Now I really wanna go learn about those engines. From that guy. I remember shop class. Work with my hands. So chose family over being moneyed. Lol. They did built thing better back than. Thanks.

[GaryBoothe]

Great job! My William Wynne Corvair powered Pietenpol has been flying for over 10 years!

[SmokinJoesAdventuring]

The Corvair is a proven engine and William Wynn's knowledge of its adaptation to aircraft use is invaluable.

[Rio_Seco]

Great option for airplanes that fly on 100hp. A lot to like about a carbureted smooth running 6 cylinder boxer, with a very long history in aviation.

[steve]

30:06 Absolutely positively true. His knowledge and experience are irreplaceable.

[ddok]

The reason I chose the WW Corvair flight engine is because of WW culture of no nonsense safety. Oh, and they sound awesome too!

[dgardea]

Great video Bryan! I love my 2700 Corvair that I built using William’s excellent manuals and his high quality components. It has over 660 hours in my Zenith CH650, runs beautifully, and provides great performance. One day when this retiree needs another project I’ll likely upgrade it to the 2850.

Love my Corvair power .. had a 2700 .. the original builder put 250 hr's on it the 10 years he owned it I've had mine for 3 years and have put 350 trouble free, non oil burning or oil leaking hours on it ... I have recently swapped that motor ... for a 3L built for me by William.. not because there was anything wrong with the 2.7L .. but cause I had " the need for .. picked up about 12-15 knts with the swap .. cant say enough good things about it .. I use mine as a taxi from N of Boston to the Jersey shore 2-3 times a month .. down the Hudson river route .. or over JFK .. actually looking for a KR2 or similar slippery airframe to put another corvair into (love my zenith ... but its a cinderblock as far as aerodynamics)

Honda Superhawk! 305 Dream rider here.

[captarmour]

Great video! Any turbocharged Corvairs? How much boost can they take before destruction?

[jiyushugi]

NGK CR9NEK is a tiny 10mm plug that can be used for dual-plug setups where space is an issue. These plugs were widely used by Japan's gamble racers in their highly tuned Triumph motorcycle engines.

[oltimer]

Is that a Honda 300 Super Hawk from the mid-sixties parked in the background? I was in high school in the early/mid-sixties when the Honda craze hit ("Go little Honda, Go little Honda, you meet the nicest people on a Honda!"). Me and all my high school buddies bought Honda bikes and road all over the streets of Raleigh< NC. I had a Super 90, then a CB 160, and then a CL 450. The Super Hawk was the top of the line early on before the the CB 350's came out.

[medic]

Aeromomentum has a 160 HP 1.5 turbo engine. Can you do a video on them soon.

[stevenwarner]

A hem.... Errrr.... I have a Suzuki Bandit. 1998 1200. Maybe this guy would be willing to comment on motorcycles? Hmmm? Course with that one carburetor no syncing needed. Gonna take on those four carburetors this winter. Oh well. An engine is an engine is an engine. But all this is such an inspiration. Wow. Just Great! Thanks so much for this. Those pipe welds. Woooo Weee.
